Yes. Ozone forms when ultraviolet light from the sun splits on O2 molecule into two O molecules. The free O molecules aren't very stable and quickly react with ambient O2 molecules to form O3, or ozone.
At the top of the stratosphere the ozone production is highest, but it is also destroyed very quickly in reactions with the ultraviolet light. Thus, we see the "ozone layer" towards the bottom of the stratosphere.
Once pollutants that destroy ozone (such as CFCs) are removed from the stratosphere, the ozone layer will most likely repair itself. This may take a long time, however, because pollutants last a long time in the stratosphere as there is not the weather like there is in the troposphere to disturb and remove them.
